A warning.

A threat.

My brain tells me to be scared.

But my body?

It clenches around nothing, aching for him to shove me against the shower wall andproveit.

Ford leans in, his breath warm against my ear. “You feel that, don’t you?” His fingers brush down my side, the gesture teasing. “The way you shivered? The way your breath hitched?”

I grit my teeth, not saying a word.

His teeth scrape my jaw, sending a pulse of heat straight between my legs. “That’sfear, sweetheart. And it turns you the fuck on.”

Oh, God.It does.

I’m a sick, twisted mess.

And the worst part?

He knows it.

FORD

Ireally pissed her off.

Harper has been stomping around since I pulled her from the shower and tried to dry her off.

She swatted me away, trying to tug at the towel in my hand, her face turning red when I threatened to smack her ass if she didn’t behave.

She refused to listen, so I made good on my promise, smacking her ass and then rubbing the towel over her and drying her off.

Now she’s dressed, ripping her hair from the messy bun on top of her head, her eyes and mouth spitting fire at me.

“I’mnotleaving.” She crosses her arms over her ample bosom, her hip cocked, tapping one foot against her floor.

I’d been sweeping the glass up, but now I pause, giving her a look that scares guys twice her size.

“The hell you aren’t. Pack some shit or I’ll do it for you.” I give her a leering look, my gaze sweeping her body from head to toe. “Unless you want to spend your time at Gram’s naked. Can’t say I’d mind. But if Connor sees you, I’ll gouge his eyes out.”

“I hate you.”

I smirk. “Pretty sure you don’t. Not after the way your pussy was gushing around my fingers.”

“Ahhh!” she screams, her hands tugging at the roots of her hair. “You’re so damn arrogant.”

I grin, not saying a word.

Her chest heaves from anger as she paces in front of her closet. “I’m not running away. I can handle?—”

“No, you can’t.” I’ve lost all fucking patience with her.

Now it’s time to resort to measures I never imagined I’d engage in.

“Have it your way.”
